I wouldn't just cut them .080" deeper without measuring what's needed. That would be enough clearance if you had zero clearance before cutting them deeper.

Picked up the car today I bought it sight unseen other than pictures.........I'm more than happy with the gamble not a BIT of rust on the car any where not even on the undercarriage and for a FLorida car is near impossible Surface rust on the rack is all I could find. only thing I could find wrong was it missing a Pin on the hood and why you see the Bungie cord LOL

Not sure If I'm lucky or not I've gotten crap from members on other forums for finding deals hell I got a 6.0 short block MINT with oil pan rockers and everything with 317's a 5.3 with 243 heads and another 5.3 with 5.3 heads a Set of LS1 pistons ARP main studs all for 650. Needless to say I have 0.00$ in my 243's and 6.0 Some more goodies

But Car dropped 135 pounds today dash that was in it was a hack job where someone just put the whole dash on 2 post and welded it to the frame. Took it out and will be getting a aluminum dash and Center console
Before

After


More goodies!!
